For more information and guidance on this, please contact the customer care unit of any FirstBank branch nearest to you. Getting PayPal is easy and simple: it only takes a few minutes to set up.
You are safe
According to FirstBank’s Head of E-Business, Chuma Ezirim, in the over two months since FirstBank customers began being exclusively verified by PayPal, it has been all smiles on the faces of customers and absolutely no cause for regret from them as FirstBank has continually and consistently delighted them without end. He said given PayPal’s reputation as the world’s most secure and friendly payment platform and given FirstBank’s avowed commitment to always put its customers first, the partnership between the two financial organizations is set to continue to delight FirstBank’s customers.
Through this partnership, FirstBank customers are enjoying a unique advantage as their PayPal account receives automatic verification and increased transaction limits thus guaranteeing them easier, faster and the most secure online and mobile payments.
What’s more? PayPal provides a buyer protection policy that compensates you when the item you purchased online is not delivered or doesn’t fit the seller’s description.
What Nigerians are saying
Sharing his experience with journalists recently, Chidi Nwafor, an online business consultant, explained that in his over ten years of experience in online business this (FirstBank/Paypal online partnership) is the smoothest, fastest and safest online shopping platform he has encountered.
Nwafor is not alone, he is merely echoing the minds of millions of Nigerians who are also overjoyed at the opportunity to buy and pay for their needs online on a smooth and safe platform. Thanks, they say, to FirstBank’s partnership with PayPal.
